A word from Rachel, the 'Martian Ambassador' costume creator:

My girlfriend Tiffany is wearing this homemade costume. She loves Tim Burtons 'Mars Attacks' movie and created this entirely out of paper mache, wooden dowels, and paint. She spent every day after work shaping it and creating this larger than life costume. She was in the Columbus dispatch, on the news, and had hundreds of people lining up to take her picture at the Halloween party we attended, but we never entered a costume contest and I 100% believe she could win. She had never made anything with paper mache until she made this.
